The Council's priorities for the next three years (2016-2019) have been outlined in a 'Corporate Plan'.
The Council faces significant financial challenges, which it intends to address by "working differently" having identified a number of "key corporate enabling work programmes" that will help the Council to do this.
The Council's key corporate enabling work programmes
- Capitalising on the benefits arising from devolution to Greater Manchester.
- Integration of health and social care – working closely across organisational boundaries, and sharing budgets and staff to commission high-quality joined up care at the right time and in the right place.
- Behaviour change – encouraging and supporting people and communities to be independent and resilient, developing a culture of social responsibility where people help themselves and each other.
- Volunteering – building capacity by encouraging and supporting volunteers and voluntary, community and faith groups to work alongside us to achieve our vision.
- New service delivery models - looking for ways to save money by exploring opportunities to do things differently, for example by sharing some of our services with other councils and public sector bodies.
- Improving value for money – managing our people and our money, seeking out best practice, making better use of data and intelligence and streamlining decision-making
The plan was approved and adopted at the full council meeting on Wednesday evening (19 October).
